Engine Swapping

I have a 1976 Ford F-250 4X4 with a 390. I am thinking of putting a new engine in the truck like a 428 or a 460. Just wondering if I am able to use the same motor mounts on the truck instead of replacing them. I also have an unrelated question about power steering. I have a 4X4 and I have a 2X4 powersteering components off my other truck. I was wondering If I could use the the power steering rams for the 4X4. Thanks for the feedback.

The 428 will bolt right up, the 460 will require new perches and mounts. It also has a different tranny bolt pattern as well as front accessory drive brackets.
